[ he laughs ]

They're a cute couple. Almost as cute as you and Molly.

[preowned]

I do not think Mollymauk is invested in the relationship.

[shaft]

How's that possible when it involves you?

[preowned]

Ha ha.

That's fine, I will find love again even without him.

[shaft]

[ looks at him ]

Yeah, I don't doubt it. How long were you having your telephone affair with the other side?

[preowned]

Hm? I don't know, a few weeks. The highlight of my week.

[shaft]

Really?

[preowned]

It's always exciting to talk to friends.

[ a pause ]

Anyway, there's not much point in talking about that.

[shaft]

... Okay.

How are you?

[preowned]

[ he at least looks a little apologetic about it. ]

Oh, the same. Extremely confused as to what we are meant to do, but the same.

[shaft]

[ he laughs ]

It's a pretty dire situation despite all these brilliant minds.

You haven't brought it up with the staff at all, have you?

[preowned]

It's a bit difficult to talk to them when they're being the most closely watched.

I think they try to help how they can, it's just... there's only so much they can actually say.

[shaft]

Yeah.

[ not much they can do about that ]

We'll do our best to figure it out on our own, I guess.

[preowned]

Well, it's up to us at this point. Although we may not have all the information we need yet...

[shaft]

Certainly cutting it close to the end.

[preowned]

Ha ha ha, yeah! I suppose that's how it usually goes... probably.

[shaft]

Was it...? Well, we didn't have a deadline where I was before.

[preowned]

What had happened there?

[shaft]

We were approaching the finale to the "story", I guess, but we never went in knowing when our time would end.

[preowned]

I see...

How long did it take to figure out what was going on?

[shaft]

[ you, a seasons mod, testing my seasons knowledge ]

I'd say about four or five weeks? Some of the others might've been a bit quicker. A lot of the clues we received from our field trips were references to a television show, which I'd never heard of.

[preowned]

A television show... like a video game...

[shaft]

Yeah, similar to how it was here. Except that... it didn't feel as sadistic.

I wonder if the Nightman is someone we know as well.

[preowned]

Hm... do you know anyone who might fit?

[shaft]

[ thinks... ]

The closest guess I have is my girlfriend...
